I got a few questions here.
1) What are the facts about epic spells for True Fire Sorcerors? SInce they have no school attached, my guess would be that they are not affected by the class-override. Can that be confirmed?
2) Do True Fire Sorcerers need spell components for higher level spells?
3) If a True Fire Sorceror chooses the invisibility one time per day ability, does it work?

About 3/4ths of the time, attempting to approve a submission directs me to an error page that reads 'Unable to update entry.' I can change an entry's content by copy/pasting the changes and updating it manually (actually opening the page in question and selecting Change Entry), but it's a hassle when the librarian screen doesn't work.

Looking it over, I had a few questions I wanted to unearth, or clariifactions.
Was Gift of Endurance's 0.5 ECL in comparison to the other stats a typo, or intended?
Is the Spell Resistance Gift lowerable via spell-breach or is it like the Monk's spell resistance?
Do Existing Characters keep their ECL? (Clarification, I think it assumes yes?)

Hello fellow players.
I have seen that people occasionally post requests for the 1.69 files. So I decided to post some links here which should (hopefully) be permanent.
Patch Links
Here you find all the files necessary for any system (Mac, Linux, Windows)
Just choose the file you need, though it will mostly be this one.
Another source is the NWN vault.
Here, you can find all the links to the files as well.
For NWN-vault, most people will need this file.
Dialogue
Sadly, I was unable to find the files on any site, neither the NWN-Vault or any source, so I just created a zip-file with the english .tlk files I use. This might be important for players who have no english version of the game. 1.69 requires a change to the english version.
This is easily done. Just copy the two files into you C:\programs\BiowareCorp\NWN folder. There are files named like those in the zip in your install directory already, so you will need to override these.
You can download the .tlk files from MediaFire. (The site is free and safe)
Unlock portraits and voicesets
There is an unlock hosted onthe NWN-Vault.
Mind that this is an older version, there are portraits double and some blank ones.
EDIT: A new version was found too, hosted on NWN Vault too.
There's still the mediafire upload of mine:
I uploaded them to Mediafire too, just click here to download.
No matter where you download the files, you have to copy them into the override-folder of your NWN-install directory. Not any sub-folder, they won't work if they aren't in the actual override-folder.
The portraits and voicesets you can choose will be seen by any and all players, since they are in the game and no custom portraits/voicesets!
Disclaimer: External links beyond my influence. The portraits and voicesets are additional content and not featured or encouraged by Arelith and its Team!
Also, would be awesome if someone can sticky this

I installed diamond on another computer about a year back and now can't find this 1.68 patch/update. Google shows me everyone else who's looking, but nothing on it being found.
Any help appreciated.

So here's the topic for anyone to say, "HEY! the wiki is wrong here(link)! FIX IT DAMN IT!"
I'm taking it to go directly to me and I don't care if you demand things, I'll get to them when I do(which will normally be fairly consistent)
This is not something JJ or mith or anyone asked me to do. This is something I've decided to do because I enjoy Arelith and want to help and this is a way I can help right now!
Some stuff I will ask dm's (via pm's) to confirm before i change or update pages, other stuff I'll just change.
I will attempt to post what I've updated so people can have the warm fuzzy feeling of satisfaction that something they found was missing or wrong is now fixed.
This is a personal thing I'm offering so no guarantee's it will be done within 12, 24, 72 hours, but I might get to some within seconds, others may take days or weeks, it depends on my available time cause I want to play too damn it!
P.s. if enough people do this maybe I can get a sticky
Now that would rock my sox!

Love NWN? Of course you do. Love Graphics...well. Now you dont have to deal with NWN dated graphics any longer. Thanks to Kalimere showing me this overide, my games never looked better. I cant believe ive been playing it any other way.
Its very simple to do and remove and wont interfere with your game other than get you killed cause you keep gawkin at how darn pretty everything is.
Okay so, Ive placed the links throughout this thread, next to the actual pics. But this may be confusing. So here they all are in a row. If you want to see a pic for what the links do. Read my posts on this thread thoughout.
*All THESE NEED TO BE UNZIPPED THEN COPIED AND PASTED IN YOUR OVERIDE FOLDER LOCATED IN YOUR NWN DIRECTORY. BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR OVERIDE FOLDER SO YOU CAN REMOVE THEM EASILY*
*OH AND YOU DONT NEED THEM ALL BY ANY MEANS. jUST THE FIRST ONE DOES WONDERS. THE NWNCQ IS JUST AMAZING, SO START WITH THAT. AND ONCE YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THAT ITS JUST THE SAME PROCESS FOR THE REST, SO IT JUST GETS EASIER EACH ONE YOU ADD. PROMISE :)*
*OH AND ALSO GO TO PAGE 3 AND READ ETHALOXS POST ABOUT THE BRAMBLES AND TO MANY LEAVES. THEN READ MY REPLY ON HOW TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE BY CHECKING "AUTO" FOR SECOND STORY TILES IN THE GAME OPTIONS.*
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=hakpaks.Detail&id=7848
This is the place to get the texture overide that updates the environment. I used
NWNCQ_override_basic_by_chico400.rar and the NWNCQ_override_basic_by_chico400_patch.rar
Be sure to read the directions on the site about the "plus version addon" , which I didnt use, but may later. As well as the NWNCQ_override_extended_by_chico400.rar which is the more advanced overide that you may want to use instead of the NWNCQ_override_basic_by_chico400.rar
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Creatures.Detail&id=630
This is the main creature pack that changes many of the creatures to a different look. Like the Lord of the Rings Orcs and much more.
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Creatures.Detail&id=601
This is for Improved Goblins. Though this may be in the creature pack, im unsure.
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Creatures.Detail&id=598
And the Undead overide. Be sure to read these as there are options.
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Creatures.Detail&id=605
This is for improved Zombies and be sure to read it.
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Creatures.Detail&id=597
This is for Improved Ghouls and be sure to read it.
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Other.Detail&id=1433
This is for the color icons for spells, icons, radial menus with writing, etc.
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Other.Detail&id=1450
This is version 2 for spell icons only. They are improved so put this one in after the one above.
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Other.Detail&id=1358&comment_page=3
And last one, for now, is the Camera Mod. This one *Does Not Go In The Overide Folder*
Unzip this one in your NWN folder alongside your overide, logs, screenshots folders and the nwnmain.exe.
Also Ive noticed that version 1 always works. But some people have trouble with version 2. So try 1 if 2 doesnt work. Also, since it alters your nwnmain.exe some virus software will think this is a virus due to its behavior. Ive been using it for years so there is no virus. They discuss this on the site even.
Once its in your NWN folder. Run the NWN SoU+HotU 1.69 camera.exe or Version 2 exe and click "modify" when it loads. Sometimes this breaks the link to your shortcut to nwnmain.exe. So you may have to make a new shortcut.
*EDIT**DOUBLE EDIT THERE ARE SOME GLITCHY VISUALS WITH THIS OVERIDE ON SOME BREATH WEAPONS IF YOU HAVE THE CEP. IM WORKING ON TAKING THEM OUT. i PROBABLY WOULDNT USE THIS ONE IF THE TROLLS WERENT SO EPIC*
Added a few more creature overides for some of the beasties that didnt get a change.
Be sure to only dload the three overide dloads Creature_1.7z Creature_2.7z
Creature_3.7z
See the troll and bugbear pics

*EDIT*
This is a program that allows you to use your usb xbox controller with a great amount of customization. I use it for exploring with my wireless controller. Its great to sit back and move, move the camera, auto walk, move the mouse, activate the hot bars, use the tooltip (highlight things of interest like monsters or player names) with a function that holds it down for me, attack, toss spells etc. What ever you want to set it up as. Mind you the controller is no way to play NWN. I use the keyboard and mouse when things get going. Its just great for light movement so you can sit back in your chair.

Well you get the point. Every map I move to is like finding a little present. This is a great way, if youre like me and have been playing with the old look for a few years, of spicing up your game.
The link to the overide is here. These screenshots are done with the NWNQC Basic without the "plus version addon". Though I may try the addon as well as the NWNQC extended later on. But for now, Basic is just fine for me. *Dont forget to use the patch after*

Ill post how I got these later:)

*IMPORTANT STEP* Like all overides be sure to make a backup of your overide folder for ease of removal. Just copy and rename "overide" folder to "overide backup" or whatever is easy. I have a few backups with each stage of my overides so I can go back in stages.

You can now add profile information for yourself. Like mine, for instance. I've gone down the unoriginal route and recycled the fields from the old fora. Anyway, you can head over to your user page and click edit, then start dreaming up some clever things to put.

After a while of being stuck on the temporary site, I've just restored Arelith Wiki. It's available at the usual address: http://wiki.arelith.com/
There will be some things missing. In particular, the logo has vanished, and most of the images are missing again. Also the category pages need recreating. I think we might also be missing a few required extensions... if you see anything not showing up correctly let me know and I'll have a look at the page in question and install the right extension.

Over the past week or so, a couple of important bug fix updates were released, over varying servers (due to a small bug in the upload system). Now all that is sorted, each server should now exhibit the following enhancements:
For up-to-the-minute information on problems and proposed features, check the issue tracker. Also, if you notice anything listed here that doesn't reflect actual game experience, please re-open the corresponding issue using the "needs work" status.
- Stacked water bought from shops now works in crafting. Note that stacked water already in your inventory from before this update will not work.
- The Speedy Messenger Delivery Service and the Goblin Runners now work correctly again.
- Exiles should now be exiled properly, instead of the half-hearted "sometimes kick out, sometimes let by" policy which was used before.
- Name changes should now be possible without triggering the muling script, and without causing you to lose quarters, shops, bank balance and so on. For the first few weeks from now, I suggest dropping any valuable items and picking them up again before attempting a name change. This quirk should sort itself out in time. The same goes for any items in chests and shops.
- DMs now have an accurate in-game uptime clock. Hooray!
- A couple of small exploits have been fixed. As usual, I'm keeping mum about what they are exactly.
